WoW! They just keep spitting out babies like wet watermelon seeds.

How could they ever have expected to reach this point in their population? Could it possibly be by the fact that they are supported by the government?

Ah! So Singh isn’t a certain marker for Sikh! Thanks!

It's a fact of life everywhere, that poor people have to follow powerful people's norms. And not just the poor: all of us have to follow other's norms every day of our lives. Sometimes we take it in stride. Sometimes it's irksome.

But here it borders on a life-and-death issue. These kids already have signs of protein-deficient morbidity: stunted growth, discolored hair (symptom of kwashiorkor), lack of disease resistance, thus at risk not of death from starvation per se, but of whatever the endemic diseases are --- tuberculosis, cholera, other infectious diseases--- that cut down malnourished kids.

FTA, the eggs are available and the kids and their parents have no objection to them. Give them the eggs. People have revolutions over less than this.

I’d assume Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is a Hindu. He’s a top political operative of the BJP, an aggressively Hindus-only political party.

I had a friend at my place of work who was a vegetarian.

I forced him at gunpoint to eat a steak.
